Super Copy of Great Power Technology

To this end, Qiao Ruida secretly activated the cloning system, replicating a large batch of the Strong Foundation No. 4 drug, mixing it with the drugs produced in the factory, and gradually distributing it to the National Health Department. As for the origin of this batch of drugs, Qiao Ruida claimed publicly that it was produced in a recently built unmanned factory. This move effectively accelerated the implementation of the National Strengthening Plan, increased Ruida Pharmaceutical Company's profits, and laid the groundwork for the future large-scale export of the Strong Foundation No. 4 drug.

Of course, the unmanned factory that Qiao Ruida mentioned does exist, and it's being built right next to the Ruida Aerospace Base. The area is sparsely populated, and the land is neither farmland, nor forest, nor even grassland; it's just a vast, barren Gobi desert, making it incredibly easy to acquire land for a factory, with extremely low land prices.

A so-called unmanned factory is one where all production lines, equipment, and processes are entirely operated by intelligent programs or robots, requiring no human intervention whatsoever. This unmanned factory, located near the Ruida Aerospace Base, was designed by Qiao Ruida and constructed under the leadership of Jarvis. Throughout the construction process, except for the transportation of building materials where human drivers were involved, all other construction activities were completed by intelligent robots, resulting in speed, efficiency, and extremely low construction costs.

This unmanned factory, named "Smart Factory No. 1" by Qiao Ruida, is primarily used to manufacture core components for spaceplanes, flying cars, and spacecraft. It was recently completed and has not yet begun production. Currently, it's being used as a front to cover up the source of a large quantity of the "Strong Base IV" drug. Once this outbreak of the deadly virus subsides, the unmanned factory can switch to producing spaceplanes, flying cars, and other mechanical products, and no one will be able to find fault with it.

At the nation's command, countless medical personnel, police officers, and volunteers took to the streets to set up injection sites for the enhanced drug, maintain order, and guide local residents to receive the Strong Foundation IV injection in an orderly and efficient manner. Thanks to the collective efforts of the entire nation, the nationwide enhancement plan progressed extremely rapidly, with half the population receiving the Strong Foundation IV injection in just two weeks. It is expected that the entire population will be injected within another two weeks. At that time, the various social problems caused by the zombie virus will be completely resolved, and China will become the first country to defeat the zombie virus.

In fact, since the first week of the nationwide enhancement program, after all staff in coastal areas, border regions, airports, ports, and customs completed the Strong Foundation IV injection, no new cases of zombie virus infection have been found within China. This does not include those Chinese citizens and some overseas Chinese who rushed back to China to avoid the zombie virus. These individuals were immediately quarantined upon arrival and, regardless of whether they were infected with the zombie virus or showed symptoms, were all injected with Strong Foundation IV. After a period of observation, they were allowed to return to China.

As the nationwide enhancement plan progressed, neighboring countries of China, and some Asian countries with predominantly East Asian populations, finally witnessed the power of the Strong Root No. 4 gene-enhancing agent. Developed by Ruida Pharmaceuticals, the Strong Root No. 4 gene-enhancing agent did indeed achieve its purpose of preventing and treating the zombie virus, and the effects were immediate. Consequently, these countries dispatched diplomats to contact China to purchase Strong Root No. 4. Ruida Pharmaceuticals' sales department also received numerous inquiries about Strong Root No. 4, or even placed large purchase orders.

In response, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Chinese Ministry of Health, and Ruida Pharmaceutical Company all gave a consistent and straightforward answer: "We are very sorry, but the production capacity of the Strong Foundation No. 4 drug is limited. It is not even enough for our domestic use, so it cannot be exported."

As time went on, zombie virus infections appeared to varying degrees in other Asian countries besides China, and the number was gradually increasing. In some countries, the number of infected people even exploded, and the situation was completely out of control, such as India, where people have a strong belief in using Ganges water for healing. The leaders of these countries were extremely anxious but helpless, and could only repeatedly contact the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs by phone or send diplomatic teams to China for help.

China, however, remained firm in its stance on exporting the Strong Root No. 4 drug. Only after a month of the nationwide enhancement program, when almost all Chinese citizens had been injected with Strong Root No. 4, did the government lift export controls. At this very moment, Ruida Pharmaceuticals issued a public statement announcing an auction of Strong Root No. 4 drug quotas to be held at its headquarters in two days. Invitations were sent to all Asian countries with predominantly yellow populations, excluding China.

In the invitation letter, Ruida Pharmaceuticals promised to allocate approximately 100 million doses of its Strong Foundation No. 4 drug production capacity for the next week at the auction, divided into ten portions, to be auctioned off separately to the highest bidder.

With the zombie virus ravaging Asia, governments worldwide are desperately seeking the only antiviral drug, Strong Root IV, capable of preventing the waterborne virus. The country that secures the largest allocation will be the first to administer Strong Root IV to its citizens, protecting them from the zombie virus. Even acquiring only a small quantity to inoculate the wealthy and powerful is desirable. Therefore, upon receiving the auction invitation, countries immediately raised funds and dispatched teams to the headquarters of Ruida Pharmaceutical Company in Beijing, China, to compete for Strong Root IV drug allocations.

Two days later, at 9:00 AM, the conference room on the first floor of the headquarters of Ruida Pharmaceuticals was bustling with activity as representatives from various countries gathered. The auction hadn't started yet; only a few Ruida Pharmaceuticals staff members were assigning seats and maintaining order. The delegations from different countries, varying in size and attire, were gathered in their respective groups, discussing in different languages. Some representatives from different countries communicated in English, exchanging information or agreeing on upper and lower price limits. Representatives from some smaller countries even gathered in groups of three to five to discuss jointly funding the bidding for one unit of the drug.

The representative from the island nation, Saburo Watanabe, suddenly stood up, clapped his hands, and said loudly in broken English, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me. I know that everyone is here today to participate in this auction for only one thing: the Strong Foundation No. 4 drug. I have a way to buy the drug from the Chinese at the lowest price. Would you like to hear it?"

"The reason the Chinese are using auctions to sell the Strong Foundation No. 4 drug is to incite price gouging and competition among us. It's a classic, open conspiracy, but also the most boundless, since only Ruida Pharmaceuticals can produce the Strong Foundation No. 4 drug to treat the zombie virus." (End of Chapter)
